Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Conditioner draws complaints about weight.
Way To Grow Conditioner
Multiple reviewers with fine or thin hair report it strengthens hair and reduces breakage, describing it as helping hair grow longer over time.
fine/thin hair, long-term usersPraised for a pleasant, light apple scent and good value since a small amount goes a long way.
general reviewersOne long-time user reported a skin reaction (hives) after a recent purchase and speculated a formula change adding phenoxyethanol was the cause; noted here as a single anecdotal report, not a confirmed reformulation-safety finding.
long-time repeat purchaserSome reviewers, especially those with fine or straight hair seeking heavier moisture, find the conditioner too thin/watery and report it left hair dry or brittle rather than soft.
fine/straight hair seeking heavy moistureA minority of reviewers dislike the fragrance intensity, calling it the biggest downside despite otherwise positive results.
scent-sensitive usersOdele Volumizing Conditioner
Leaves hair soft and manageable with noticeable added bounce
general usersLightweight formula praised by reviewers with fine hair for adding volume without weigh-down
fine hairSome reviewers in colder/drier winter conditions find it too lightweight for adequate moisture
winter/dry-climate usersScent receives mixed feedback, with some reviewers finding it unappealing

How this page was made
- This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
- We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
- The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
- The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
- The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
- 8 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
- Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
- This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
